59' Flgui'e l iS a IOII lvatOll 0f a Ghls- Th@ .intermediate portion 16 ofthe inner side ma edge is of materially greater length than the upper and lower portions of such edge. The ends 12 and 14 of the edges 11 and 10 respectively are arranged outwardly with respect to the intermediate portion of the inner side edge. The curved upper portion of the inner side edge extends from the upper end 20 of the intermediate portion 16 of such edge and terminates in the inner end 12 of the top edge 11. The curved part 19 of the lower portion of the inner side edge extends from the lower end 21 of said intermediate portion 16 and terminates in the squared portion 18 of such lower portion of the inner side edge, and said squared part 18 terminates in the inner end 14 of the edge 16. The outer side edge of the section is formed of two curved parts indi cated at 22, 23 and with the latter of greater length than the former. rlhe curved part 22 extends upon a forwardly directed curve from the outer end 13 of edge 11 tothe upper end of the curved part 23 of the outer edge. The curved part 3 is upon an inwardly and outwardly directed curve and extends from the lower end of part 22 to the outer end 15 of the edge 10.

The upper part 17 of the inner edge of the section 5 or 6 forms a portion of the neck opening of the garment. rlhe curved part 22 of the outer edge forms a part of the arm hole of the. garment. rl'he intermediate portion 16 of the inner edges of the sections 5, 6 are secured together by row of stitching 24.

Each of the sections 7, 8 is folded upon itself at its inner side and bottom and stitched together to provide inner and betteln heme 24, 25 respectively. Each of the sections 7, 8 includes a squared inner edge 26, a squared' bottom edge 27 and an outer side edge formed of an inclined part- 28 and an incurved part 29. The part 28 inclines outwardly from the outer end of bottoni edge 27 to its point of mergence in the lower end. of part 29. Each of said sections further includes a top edge formed of an inclined part 30 and an incurved part 31. The part 30 inclines dowir wardly from the upper end of part 31 to the upper end of part 29. The part 31 extends from the inner end of part 30 and terminates in the upper end of the inner edge 26. The part 29 forms a portion of an arm opening of the garment and the part 31 forms a portion of the neck opening of the garment. n i

The section 7 coacts with the upper portion of section 5 and the section 8 coact-s with the upper portion of section 6 to provide the waist of the garment.

The top edges of sections 5, 6 are secured to the top edge parts 30 of sections 7, 8 to provide shoulder straps 32. The edge parts 22 of sections 5, 6 coact with the incurred edge parts 29 of the sections 7, 8 to provide the arm openings when sections 5, 6 are secured to 4sections 7, 8. Bindings or pipings 33, 34 enclose the edges of the arm openings.

The upper or top edge parts of sections 5, 6 and the edge parts 31 of sections 7, 8 coact to provide the neck opening of the garment and a binding or piping 35 is not only employed to enclose the said upper or top edge parts of sections 5, 6 and the edge parts 31, but` also, for enclosing the inner side edges 26 of sections 7, 8, and such piping extends to the lower ends of sections 7, 8.

TheV sections 7, Shave their inner side herns adapted to overlap. As shown, thehem of section 8 overlaps section 7 and is provided with buttonholes 36, for use in connection with upper buttons 37 and a lower button 38 carried by section 7 for detachably connecting the inner sides of sections 7, 8 together.

The side edges of section 91 forni continuations of the outer side edges of sections 6, 7 and the said section 9 is folded upon itself at its top and secured together to provide a; hem 39 provided withV a series of buttonholes 40, one arranged at each end of theliem and the other centrally thereof. A buttonhole 40 coacts with the button 38, for the pm:- pose of detachably connecting the central part of section 9, at its upper end tothe sections 7 8. The section 9 is formed centrally of its bottom with an inverted, U-shaped cutout 465. The side edges42, 43 of section: 9 are substantially upon a compound curve and are oppositely disposed with respect to each other., The said side edgesof the section 9 are secured for .a portion of their length to the.l lower portion ofthe edge part 23; ofy sections.

5, 6. The edge of the Usshaped cutoutv 46 is secured by stitching to the edge parts 18, 19 of sections 5, 6. The securing of the side edges of the section 9 to the edge parts. 23 of the sections 5, 6 and the securing of the edgeof the inverted, Ushaped cutout 46V to the edge parts 18, 19 of sections 5, 6 provide the legs 44, and crotch 46 of the garment.

The extension members 3, 4 are in the form of two-ply rectangular strips and are secured to the upper portions of the edge parts 23 of sections 5, 6, extend inwardlyl therefrom and constitute flaps. The upper parts of members 3, 4 are also secured to the lower portion of the edge parts 28 of sections 7, 8; The members 3, 4 are free of connection with that part of the side edges 42, 43 of section 9 which are not secured tothe edge parts 23 of sections 5, 6. That portion of section 9 which is not connected to the? edge parts 23 provides a flap 47.

Each o-f the sections 7, 8 at its lower outer corner is provided with a button 47 coacting with an outer buttonhole 40 for connecting, in connection with the button 38, the top of the tiap 47 to the bottom of the sections 7, 8.

The lower end of each leg of the garment has arranged therein an elastic member 48 to provide for binding such end against a leg of the wearer when the garment is worn.

The form-ingof the front ofthe garment of IUD two sections provides for a saving in material and a decrease in cost of manufacture. The garment is ofsuch form that it can be readily worn as an outer garment for childs use when desired or as an undergarment in combination with an outer garment, such as a childs dress, thereby providing a two-piece suit and overcoming the necessity of the child wearing a separate underwaist and a separate pair of drawers, as is the case at present, Therefore, it is thought the many advantages of a childs garment, in accordance with this invention can be readily understood, and although the preferred embodiment of the invention is as illustrated and described, yet it is to be understood that changes in the details of construction can be had which fall within the scope of the invention as claimed.

What I claim is :-1-j

A childs garment of the romper type having a front and a back, said front formed of a pair of oppositely disposed sections of like contour having the intermediate portion of their inner side edges secured together, each of said sections having its inner side edge formed of an intermediate squared portion, an inwardly curved upper portion and a lower portion having an inwardly curved upper part and a squared lower part, its outer side edge formed of an upper and a lower curved portion with the latter of greater length than the former, its bottom edge squared and its upper edge of less length than the bottom edge and inclining downwardly from its inner to its outer end, said back formed of a pair of upper sections and a lower section, each of said upper sections having a portion of its top edge secured to the top edge of a front section and the lower portion of its outer side edge secured to the outer side edge of a front section, said lower section having its side edges form continuations of the outer side edges of said upper sections and the lower part of its side edges secured to the lower part of the lower portions of the outer side edges of said front sections, said lower section centrally of its bottom formed with an inverted fU-shaped cutout, means for securing the edge throughout of said cutout to the lower portions of the inner side edges of said front sections to provide a crotch, means for detachably connecting the sections of the back together, and extension members in the form of rectangular strips having one end thereof positioned above said lower section, said strips having their outer lengthwise edges secured throughout to the curved lower portions of the outer side edges of said front sections, the lower'part of the outer side edges of said upper sections and to the lower secured part lof said lower section.

In testimony whereof, I affix my signature hereto.
